T-Redux

This is a mini library that implements the Redux pattern. Useful if you don't need all the stuff that the redux framework gives you.

How to use it

1. Install the library

npm install t-redux

2. Import in your files

import {withState, dispatcher, buildReducer} from 't-redux'

3. What you get is

• A High Order Component to wrap your React components
• An action dispatcher
• An utility function to build the reducers

One file example

  // import the needed modules
  import {withState, dispatcher, buildReducer} from 't-redux'

  // this is a PORC (Plain Old React Component)
  class MyCounter extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
      super()
      this.plusOne = this.plusOne.bind(this)
    }
    plusOne() {
      // Dispacth the action (the content is optional)
      dispatcher.dispatch({type: 'PLUS_ONE', content: this.props.counter})
    }
    render() {
      return (
        <div>
          <div>Click count: {this.props.counter}</div>
          <button onClick={this.plusOne}>Add 1</button>
        </div>)
    }
  }
  // Build the reducers as a map ACTION:(state, action) => state
  const reducers = buildReducer({
    'PLUS_ONE': (state, action) => ({counter: state.counter + 1})
  })

  // Define the initial state
  const INITIAL_STATE = { counter: 0 }

  // export the wrapped component passing the reducers and the initial state
  export default withState([reducers], INITIAL_STATE)(MyCounter)

Why

This package was born while I was learning react and redux. I love the principles behind Redux but I don't like boilerplate and overcomplicated code so I decided to try to write a simple implementation of the redux pattern. Feel free to use it or to continue to use the Real One.
